Ooooh. Hubby collects swords. He bought some $40 one at a comicon awhile back. Dad's best friend took a look at it [its with my parents since we couldn't ship the blades to Germany with us] and there's a chance its an actual old samurai sword that was smuggled out of Japan during the war and refurbished to hide its value. Could be worth near to 40k, now. Which hubby and I doubt, actually.
